Why is our Equality Not Equal? - Post #36

 Why is our Equality Not Equal?

     It has been a little while since my last post.  To say that I have been facing some challenges would be an understatement. Some day I may share them, but for now, I am keeping these particular ones private.

     Now, that I have a pretty good understanding on what Transgender is, the concept of not understanding it does not make any sense to me.  Now, that I look at things with a different perspective, I started looking at other situations in our society.  I have always been proud to be an American, a place where people from all around the world come to for a better life. "Life, Liberty, and the Pursue of Happiness" is the American dream.  Unfortunately, for those of us who live here know that things are not always like they are meant to be.  Here are just a few examples of the hypocritical issues that effects our society:

1.  Openly practicing religion is public schools is not acceptable; but if you are in prison, one can be granted parole if they find God. 

2.  We claim to be a society of racial equality; but in prison, inmates are segregated by race. 

3.  With many different Christian based religions worshipping the same God and Savior within the United States, many of them oppose each other.

4.  We have sexual / gender equal rights in the work force, but not in sports.

If we as a society cannot seem to respect each other in these examples, how can we expect our world to accept the complicated differences of Transgender?  There are so many myths and assumptions about us that it can be overwhelmingly frustrating. I can only hope and pray that people will start to look at others with love instead of hate.  Every person is different in many ways; and it is these differences that makes us all special.  Perhaps there will be day that we as a society will have a common practice of asking questions rather than assuming so much.  Until then, we all can lead by example; and ask yourselves, "What does Equality mean, and who does it apply to?" 

Love and Hugs,

Jade

Friendly Advice for Parents - Post 50

 Friendly Advice for Parents "My child is transgender, now what?" As a parent, I believe I can imagine what most parents may think or even feel when discovering their child being transgender.  If you were brought up like I was, you may be conservative or have conservative concerns. I am familiar with how religious beliefs or even basic biology knowledge dictate how some view the topic.  It is not my intention to say who is right or who is wrong; but I would like to ask if you are struggling with such issues, please ask yourself if you love your child.  If love comes to your heart first, not only do I believe you can overcome these issues, but also discover a very special relationship between you and your child that you cannot even imagine.   I remember growing up wanting to be physically who I was inside; but because of my conservative upbringing, that was not an option.  I remember hearing my father explain on many occasions that he wanted a daug...

SEX - THE TOPIC - POST #31

 SEX- THE TOPIC SEX, the topic that all of us transgender people cannot avoid. "Normally", one's sex life is no one else's business, but apparently for transgender people our romantic life is open for everyone to question?  I can understand one's curiosity, but the boldness so many has towards us amazes me.  Believe it or not, a lot of people actually want to know how my wife and I have sex.. OMG.  My response is oftentimes want to ask them the same question.  Do people really take a moment to consider such a question before they ask it?...there's a thought. SPOILER ALERT:  We don't.  Most  "transgender people" have little if not no sex life.  So, these erotic fantasies of us "trans" is not a reality.  So all these "She/male, Tranny" common beliefs is fictional.   FACT: Those of us who are on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) and MTF (Male to Female), the hormones over-rides our sexual performance, which means we cannot do it ...

UPDATE: Me and the World, Post #41

7-30-22 It has almost been 2 months since my last post.  Even though I have no regret in transitioning, I have been dealing with a lot of things; and I needed some time to process them.  Besides dealing with and trying to recover from all of my seizure activity, I have been dealing with a major stressor since the beginning of this year. Because of pending criminal charges on someone who I once trusted, I have not been able to go public with this information until recently.  Like this blog, it has taken me a lot of courage to share this.  So, here it is: This past January, I was sexually battered by who I thought was a friend and fellow minister, which made me a transgender statistic.  Unfortunately, some people are not who they appear and some of us pay the price.  Not only did I carry all the emotions of shame, embarrassment, anxiety and much more, each monthly court date was an emotional roller coaster.  Fortunately, this person was recently convicte...
